I need to get these handcuffs off! They're really irritating! Cream struggles to remove them, hearing the clacking metal of the cuffs against the long chain that held them together-feeling the pain escalate as she continued to test how wide she could spread her arms to test the length of her handcuff's chains; She was handcuffed behind her back, so she couldn't get a good idea of how to remove them since she could barely see them behind her back. She looked around the room, "I need to get out of here…I heard someone being tortured earlier; so wherever I am, it definitely isn't somewhere I want to be."

She looks down her shirt and at her arms, seeing none of her weapons in possession, "I guess they stripped me of everything important…So much for trying to get these handcuffs off with what I have." She studies her surroundings, noticing the smoothness of the room. It's as if the people who kidnapped me were expecting me to make an escape…taking away my weapons, putting me in this smooth room with absolutely no escape…I've got to find some way out of here!

All she could do was look around, studying her environment. She knocked on the floor and walls, noticing that they both were very solid and kept the noise inside. "Okay, so I can make as much noise as possible in here…but how about this door?"-turning her back to the door and backing into it, knocking on the door lightly-"It seems this is a pretty hollow door…if I knock any louder I'll surely make a loud noise and attract someone's attention. I should try to avoid that, for now at least."

She helped herself up by leaning against the wall, and then an idea came after thinking for a few seconds. Since these walls are solid, that means they must be strong enough to break the chain on these handcuffs if I can apply enough force! After I break the chains, I can bang on these doors loudly until someone comes, and then…A star twinkled in her eyes as she got up and widened her arms and pulled forward until she could see it, protruding her posterior to the point where it made contact with the chain. "Well, at worst I might sprain my wrists or bruise my butt…"

She runs backwards at full speed and slams her body against the wall, feeling the chain cut against her bottom; she immediately lets out a sharp cry before holding it in, Holy crap that hurts! I hate skirts! She recovers quickly walking forward again, and then slamming into the wall once more, and then doing so once more again; she hears the chain crack a little of the third attempt. Okay! We're getting somewhere now…I just need some more strength to pop these chains and then we're good! Holding back some tears from the pain her butt and lower back were getting. She does so one last time, successfully popping the chains off and only having the cuffs on. "Great!"-she whispered, looking at her hands-"I'll just need to attract some attention and see what's going on. She crouches down to look through the opening in the door, and saw a stone wall directly across; she maneuvers her body around to get a better look and finds a flame torch on the wall, looking to the far right and noticing stairs nearby. Am I possibly in a dungeon!? What!? She hears footsteps coming down the stairs, seeing the boots of only one person. I'll back away from here until he passes and then bang on the door as soon as he's about a couple steps away…the guy walks past the door-whistling; Cream bangs on the door, alarming the man to which he retracts his steps to stand in front of her door.

He kicks the door with force and yells, "Shut the hell up!"

Cream bangs on the door once again as he walks away, and he returns. He unlocks the door to find the room empty, "What…wasn't there somebody in here!"

Cream kept her eyes on his shadow that had appeared from the flame torch outside. He enters, suspicious that she's behind the door. He pulls the door, only to get a violent punch from Cream, who jumps from behind the door. The guy is shocked to see she was able to break the chains off her handcuffs, and engages in a scuffle; Cream dodges the slow attempt-of-a punch, and then super kicks him in the jaw-sending him backwards to fall. She spots his ring of keys and then kicks him in the groin, which causes him to sit forward holding that region in deep pain; she breaks his neck right afterwards-killing him.

"I apologize for having to commit such a petty murder…but it is what it is." She said, grabbing the keys and testing out which ones may be the real key to unlock her cuffs; she counts a total of eight different keys, all eight are completely different in appearance. "How about this one?" finally opening the handcuffs and being free; she stretches, feeling the tension in her back and arms finally be released. She looks at the ring of keys, "what are these other keys for?"

She peeps from her door to see the spiral stairs right next to her, looking back to see a row of other cells in a long hallway with a door at the end of the hallway. "So I'm not alone…"

Back at the Rose manor, everyone was sitting at a table trying to brainstorm an idea on who kidnapped Cream. Lily sits in a big chair that faces everyone at the table, and with her was Richard; she whispered into his ear about something. She takes her attention over to Sonic and Amy, "So sir Sonic, you say that she was attacked?"

Sonic nods his head, "Yeah…I heard some shots fired, but when I got there I only saw some dead bodies and one severely injured-none were cream."

"Did you identify the bodies?" Lily pryed.

"I never paid much attention to the dead ones, but maybe we could check out the guy we recovered."

"This is the Mamba family's doing…" Amy stated bluntly with head lowered.

"How did you come to that conclusion dear sister?"

"Isn't it surprising that the person that goes missing happens to be a female bunny? You know very well what I'm talking about."

Lily kept a cold stare at Amy, "The auction."

Amy nods, "I bet she's over there; they're looking to bid her off."

"You're sharp. I was thinking the same but I wanted to at least confirm it with the idiot."

"No point in wasting time when it's so obvious." Amy's emotional voice cracked.

Lily summoned Richard and whispered in his ear yet again, "Do so promptly!"

Richard exits the room; Tails entered with a portable GPS. He rests it on the table for the others to behold. Sonic picks it up and examines the device, "So this is what you were making?"

"Mmm hmm, I programmed it to track down Cream using her DNA; it should be able to track down her location within a hundred mile radius." Tails explained with pride.

"Okay, we have a device to find her and we have some intel. What's the plan, Lily?" Amy kept her eyes on Lily.

Lily looked at the GPS, "Well, I want to see what our patient has to say first before we make a move. Knowing the Mamba's, they will soon figure out she's connected to you and use her as ransom."

"What other moves are you planning?" Amy asked, suspicious.

"None of your concern at the moment; for now we wait for the idiot to wake up."

Cream crept over to the door, opening it to find a turtle and a human boy in handcuffs sitting against the wall. She enters the dark and smelly room; she notices upon closer look that both of them aren't that much older than she is. These are very poor conditions to be in…they must have been here way longer than me. She helps them up and out of the cell and rests them on the wall in the hallway and begins to fan them.
